What is this trend about

Black Friday is just around the corner, and some brands are already getting their promotions out there.

One approach worth looking at comes from Aelfric Eden, which tapped into creators’ existing content styles instead of asking them to follow a specific trend.

From a pole dance video, a dance clip, and a lip-sync-to-camera post. What do they have in common?

Aelfric Eden partnered with three creators from different content niches. Across seven videos, all creators used the same caption:

"Check out @aelfriceden_official for their Black Friday Sale".

Two of the dancers' posts also included a 15% discount code. Each creator kept their usual content format and sound, with no shared trend or branded video concept.

The sale itself wasn't mentioned in the videos. Viewers encountered the promotion through the caption.
